I see two eyespeering out at me from the corner of the couchand a little pink nosenestled in the middleof bewhiskered, white marshmallow cheeks.Uh oh.What’s this? Two ears approach(twice too large for that adorable face) and gold and black eyes are widein mischievous anticipation.Oh mortals, take heed, such a slow methodical stalkhath this monstrous, tigrous beastie.See how he takes his positionon a twitching haunchpoised for the merciless kill.Aha! He springscompletely surprising my defenseless hand.Little pink paw padsare choking my index fingerbut my defiant digit wrestles to the death! Oh fearsome propositionwhat horrible teeth you have grandmathose mighty molars strike terror to my heartpray don’t gum me to dea-Aaaaaaagggghhhhh! ! ! (Damn cat.)
